Paraguay's Senate ousts President Santiago Peña after Ueno bank collapse
Paraguay's Senate voted to remove President Santiago Peña from office, AP reports, tying the move directly to the collapse of Ueno bank. The vote ends Peña's hold on the presidency and throws the country into a sudden leadership shake-up.
Paraguay's Senate voted to remove President Santiago Peña from office, according to the Associated Press. The vote lands in the middle of a national crisis set off by the collapse of Ueno bank. Lawmakers moved to strip Peña of the presidency as fallout from that failure spread through the capital.
The Ueno bank collapse is the trigger named in the report. It turned a banking failure into a full-blown political reckoning, with the Senate acting against the sitting president. The vote marks the sharpest consequence yet of the bank's downfall.
Paraguay now faces an abrupt change at the top, with Peña out of office by a Senate vote rather than an election. The country, a South American nation, is left navigating the aftermath of both the bank's collapse and the removal of its president.
No further details on the vote tally or what comes next were included in the breaking report. The story is developing.
